1 Watch the video. What “house rule” does Max break?

Respectdisrespectfulimpolitepoliterespectrespectfulresponsibilityrightrude

Using Prefixes and SuffixesPrefixes are added to the beginning of a word. For example, the prefixes dis– and im– mean “not.” So disrespectful means “not respectful” and impolite means “not polite.”Suffixes are added to the end of a word. For example, the suffix –ful means “full of.” So respectful means “full of respect.”

A Watch again. What are the new rules in English class?

2 Circle the correct options.

1 It’s your right / responsibility to

have your own personal space.

2 It’s respectful / disrespectful to

raise your hand before asking

OOOH… THIS LOOKS AND SMELLS LIKE JOE’S ROOM.

WHY DON’T THEY LETME SLEEP IN THIS BED?

IT’S PERFECT!

REX! GETDOWN NOW!

JOE’S PARENTS OBVIOUSLY DON’T MAKE HIM PICK UP HIS ROOM. WHAT A MESS!

9Lesson 2


A strid stretched lazily in bed as the sun streamed through the window. Hooray!

she thought. It’s the weekend. No school, no teachers, just fun!

“Astrid!” her mother called. “Get up now. There’s a lot to do today.”

Astrid groaned loudly. “Can I stay in bed for a bit? Please, Mom?”

“No,” said her mother firmly. “You need to pick up your room and finish your schoolwork

before lunch.”

“That is SO unfair,” complained Astrid. “You never let me stay in bed on the weekend. You

always make me do chores. It’s my room. I don’t care if it’s a mess.”

“Astrid, we’ve talked about this,” said her mother. “You have a right to your own space,

but it’s your responsibility to keep it neat! When I get back from the store, I want your room

to be spotless.”

As she heard the apartment door close behind her mother, Astrid pulled the covers over

her head. If I’m in charge someday, she thought, I’ll let people have fun all the time. I won’t

make them do things they don’t want to do. No responsibilities at all!

Suddenly, there was a bright flash, and Astrid found herself in the middle of a street! She

looked around in amazement. People were dancing and singing. Kids were whizzing around

on the sidewalks and roads on scooters

and skateboards.

“Where am I?” Astrid wondered aloud.

“You’re in Astrid’s Kingdom,” said one of

the boys zooming by.

“MY kingdom?” said Astrid. “What’s it

like?”

“It’s wonderful!” said the boy. “We all have

the right to do as we please! We don’t work,

and children don’t go to school. We don’t

have responsibilities. We just have fun!”

A Look at the pictures.

What do you think

Astrid’s kingdom is like?

A Listen and follow. Were

your ideas correct? 3

Astrid’sKingdomKingdom

10


Feeling very satisfied with her kingdom, Astrid

set off at once to find her castle. (Because

kingdoms always have a castle, don’t they?)

But as she walked along the sidewalk, Astrid

began to see piles of garbage. Disgusting! she

thought, wrinkling her nose.

Then she stopped and waited to cross safely at

a pedestrian crossing. But when the traffic light

turned red and the “Walk” sign appeared, the cars

didn’t stop—the drivers just kept driving! Astrid

saw a gap in the traffic and ran across the busy

road. Whew! That was close! she thought.

By the time Astrid reached her castle,

she was exhausted—and starving. She

marched into the castle’s enormous

kitchen, but she couldn’t find the chef or

any of the other castle staff. “Where is

everyone?” she grumbled to herself.

Finally, she came across a gardener

sunbathing on the lawn. “I want a burger.

Now!” She demanded.

“Excuse me, that isn’t very polite. Who

do you think you are?” said the gardener.

“Sorry,” said Astrid, taking a calming

breath. “I am Queen Astrid, and this is my

kingdom. I just want a burger… please.”

“Well, that’s not my responsibility. I’m the gardener,” he said carelessly. “Anyway, you

won’t get any food here. Nobody works. You can’t make people do things like cook you a

burger.”

Astrid stamped her foot. “What is wrong with everyone here?” she cried. “There’s

garbage on the sidewalks. The streets are dangerous. The people don’t do their jobs, and no

one even cares! Who is responsible for this chaos?”

Then for the second time that day, there was a bright flash. Astrid opened her eyes and

realized that she was still in her bedroom. She jumped out of bed as quickly as she could

and picked up her room. She dusted and swept, too, for good measure.

Just then her mom returned from the grocery store. She poked her head into Astrid’s

room. “Wow! It looks great in here,” she said. “Good job, Astrid!”

“Thanks, Mom. You know… maybe responsibilities aren’t such a bad idea after all.”

Topic 1

1 Read the essay. Circle words that compare and contrast.

A Copy the Venn diagram in your notebook. Complete it with the rules.

1 Think of three responsibilities you

have at home and in school.

2 Who makes you do these things?

Comparing and ContrastingWhen you compare, you explain how two or more things are similar. Use words such as the same, similar, both, alike, as well, also. When you contrast, you explain how two or more things are different. Use words such as different, difference, however, but.2 Plan and write your own essay.

1 Choose your topic. Think of people with different rules.

What do they make you do? What do they let you do?

2 Use a Venn diagram to plan your writing.

3 Write your essay. Include an introduction, similarities, differences and a conclusion.

There are a lot of similarities between the rules at home and the rules at my grandparents’ house, but there are also some differences.

They both have similar rules about cell phones. They never let me take my cell phone with me when I go to bed. Both my parents and my grandparents also make me say “please” and “thank you.”

However, their rules for meals are different. My parents want us to eat together. But my grandparents let me watch TV while I eat. Another difference is that my grandparents don’t make me go to bed early like my parents do. They let me stay up late, even on a weekday!

In conclusion, I respect my parents’ rules, but my grandparents let me have more fun!

1 Read the introduction.

What are the five

qualities of a good

citizen?

2 Read the situations and

choose the best answer

for each one.

A Compare your answers.

We all want to be good citizens at home, in school and in our community, but it isn’t always easy. To become a good

citizen, we must develop five important qualities.The first one is honesty. We must tell the truth—even if it’s

difficult. The second is compassion. We must care for other people and try to understand how they feel. Then there’s respect. We must be polite and respect the rights of other people. And we must respect rules and laws by following them. Responsibility is the next quality. This means doing the things you’re responsible for and to admit it when you make a mistake. Finally, there’s courage. This helps us do the right thing even in difficult situations.

Can you make the right choices and take responsibility for your actions? Let’s find out!

Do You Have What It Takes?
